Hi if I take the baffles out of my scorpion cans will it affect the running of my bike

One ride in the wet this winter and white fur in lots of place and discs like this.... My daily commuter (Honda!) completely unmarked. Not impressed with my first Kwak since my GPx 750 many moons ago.

Hmmm.... not impressed. Only just 2 years old, 7600 miles, one winter use, and this happens.

My last bike was a ZX10R with what appeared to be the same finish - 10 years of use, including more than half of them through winter and still as shiny as the day it came out of the crate.

Is it worth complaining to Kawasaki?

I should add the bike was professionally treated with ACF50 before this winter.

Nice ride out today. Quickshifter gear changes and being rocketed forward on the torque curve! It just never, ever stops being so much fun!!

Hi all, 2011 gen 1 battery gone flat and not enough juice to crank it over properly. It was fine the other day when I used it. So... can I jump start it, where is the battery and if I have to replace the battery is there anything weird that will happen with with the immobiliser? Thanks

Just a quick question to all you 1400 owners..any problems I should know about the 2008 model ZZR1400. .?..heard a few problems with them and what should I look for around the bike..it's done 22,000 miles..thanks in advance guys..

Had the bike 2 weeks and think I been playing with the power too much lol tyres need replacing soon but need harder compound and not to expensive cos I use her daily. Help please

Have not really figured out this function yet?

"The engage indicator can be used in closed course competition. Do not use the engage indicator during everyday riding. The engage indicator is used to indicate the preferred timing for clutch engagement under the following conditions: transmission is in 1st gear; the clutch lever is pulled in; and the vehicle speed is less than 5 km (3.1 mph)."

Is the clutch working itself although I have the handle pulled in?

Or is it just an indication for me to let the handle out?

Great day out riding in Wales today, bit dusty though when following mates in front as they kick up the bleeding road salt in the middle of the road. One bloke who last week collected his brand new Triumph tiger 1050 17 plate and has just done 350 miles on it is now without it. It's developed a knocking noise and is now back at the dealers while they try to find out where it's coming from. I told him I wouldn't have it back if they've stripped the engine down. Apparently under sales of goods act you have the right to get a new replacement or total refund. He said he was a nats cock away from getting a Honda Africa twin and wishes he had now. Personally I would never ever touch a Triumph or Ducati etc...It has to be Japanese for me every time.. What's worrying him is we're all off to Germany in May and he's sitting at home with no bike and £11,500 down.

Just wondered if anyone has heard similar stories regarding new ZZR14's or is it just a Triumph thing ?

*Oil & filter change on the ZZR. Ready for new season. Always feels satisfying :) *Not recommending any type of oil/filter combo!! Don't want to open that can of worms. It's just the choice I go with ;)

Hi peeps .

Looking for any tips in the replacement of plugs . Bike all stripped as renewing coolant . And downpipes . But there doesn't seem to be much space . Doing it at the weekend if anyone has any tips or advice thanks

A mate's got his first mot on Saturday at a new place and has his baffles out and a tad worried as only one can be screwed back in. Anybody had a similar experience? Thanks in advance

Questions : Very strange but just one side of my 2012 zzr1400 front left hand side brake pads have worn almost down to the limit, but the rest are ok. Any ideas why just one side is worn? I have tried to get into the caliper to change the worn pads but the bolt is seized solid. Any ideas how to best remove it without knackering the caliper?

If I do need to replace the nissin brake caliper is it the same as the Gen 1? If so what years? I'll try source one from Ebay!

Thanks!

Time to upgrade the head-cam (Hero3). Was simply going to fire up the fleabay and start comparing. Anybody had any involvement in purchasing a decent one lately? Thanks in advance.

The subject of tyres had probably been discussed to the ends of the earth and back, but I'm just looking for a wee bit advice on the particular brand of Pirrelli Angel ST.

Has anyone ran them on a Gen 1, and did you get a fair mileage from them.

Thanks in advance

Who's using what tank bag on a Gen2??

Post a pic if you can and let me know how you like it.

Looking for something not too huge, but that will stay on the bike at "possible" high speeds

Thanks!

I think today should have been entitled "XBOX and Beer".

Pulling out of my mother-in-laws drive on a slight camber, stalled and dropped the bloody bike on the right side.

Thankfully the R&G did it's job nicely, side fairing R&G protector has a slight scuff and exhaust R&G protector on the new Carbon Yoshi's also has a slight scuff but both fairing and exhaust unmarked. Slight scratch on the lower black fairing but it looks like a minor repair. Broke the right foot peg so new one on order.

Right knee was banging but thought feck it i'm off out.

Went to Jordans to get a pair of new PR4's as it was dry..... well it WAS dry, came outside and it was pissing it down with brand new tyres on. At this point I thought "i should've stayed on the f'kin couch with a beer and the XBOX".

Managed to get home ok and the bike is now cleaned and back in the garage awaiting a tyre scrub session.

Some days are just meant to piss us off but thank FCUK I had the presence of mind to fit the R&G's.

Shit happens eh?

Right guys and gals, I need cheapest UK suppliers for EBC HH Sintered pads for the front of the beast. Any recent purchases or deals?

My road legal drag bike in for mapping and mot

Hello guys, greetings from Lithuania! I bought my beast this fall, just upgraded it with Vance & Hines cs one exhaust and I love it. But there is one thing that I would like to fix till the spring comes. My front suspension seems to bottom out with a hard hit when I go over a speed bump. Tried all kinds of suspension settings but that didn't solve the problem. Could have springs gotten soft over time? Will be grateful for any kind of info.

Nice and clean after a great rideout

Cleaning and setting up it's done :)

Hi guys...any ideas as to what would cause my nosecone to crack like this ? It's an 08 model , i've owned it the past three years, the cracks started to appear about six months ago. Any thoughts ?

And on the way to Glenelg...

Just fitted my number plate using the old bracket and one i got from ebay for £25 used led strips wired them into the same connection for the rear light its a full 12v handy to know and runs of a 10amp fuse

I know a few of you are going up north....Glenelg glenelg just now

I've seen a 14 today on the road between mysore and ooty .This was on a road where my little 220cc was to fast lol.

Tell me about eco mode. I had a reflashed ECU, which stripped it of red line, and gave me a more aggressive advance. But without fail within say 4 miles the ecu would start leaning it self out. I fitted discreetly one of those lamarder plugins that was meant to tell the ECU every was fine at 13.5:1. But it didn't work, the bike would lean itself out at about 4 miles. Anyone have technical insight into this? Cheers.

Hey guys, I have just got a puncture in my half worn rear tyre right in the centre of the tread, looks like a small nail or such like. What's the opinion repair or replace? ☹️️

Yep, i did it. I am now the owner of this beauty

I'm sure this little lot will look better when I get finished.

Question for Gen2 owners that have fitted a fuseblock or similar under the seat. What is the best route for the wiring from front to under seat? best I can see is down right had side, through battery compartment & under tank.

I have the left and right hand side belly pan panels in green from my 2012 zzr1400 for sale.

Recently re-sprayed so in immaculate condition although the colour has come out slightly paler than intended.

Early birthday pressie for me

Does anyone swap their exhausts back at MOT time. Especially with non road legal delkevic's.

Why to have hugger or better without?

Any opinions?

I dont have it yet...

Seen some fuel exhausts i like the look of. Anybody know anything about them.

What's people's thoughts on these

Looking for Sidecases. Is GIVI the only one? :/

まだまだ走るよ

Watched a couple of YouTube videos showing how to free off front disc buttons. It shows them being turned by hand afterwards. My bike has just been dealer serviced, and I can't turn them by hand, and there is no mention of them in the Kawasaki workshop manual.

I know these bikes are supposed to be prone to warped discs, and it seems like it would help prevent this if the disc is able to float properly.

What are your thoughts on this please?

Another awesome ride they look top from any angle

Worth a read ☺☺☺☺☺

Happy birthday to me

Kawasaki Ale a beer to go with the bike but not at the same time lol

Looks like its time for new front discs what is everyone running? The OEM have done the usual thing on the gen1 and warped.

Im not sure how much i trust various websites telling me they are for the ABS model but no-one is showing the ring on the disks
